There are numerous ways to update your lighting, and the type of change you choose will affect the cost. There is a wide range of options available for our clients. All you have to do is to tell Gillies Electric and we’ll be at your service. We’ve done everything from straightforward fixture replacements, like swapping out a traditional wall or ceiling light, to installing new outlets where lights once were. While most lighting changes are simple for us to handle, more complex installations may require a permit, which is why it’s best to leave them to a professional.

It’s challenging to estimate the costs of electrical repairs and installations in a small article due to the many factors. So consider these figures as rough estimates rather than definitive. However, some general guidelines can be helpful. First and foremost, any electrical project that involves significant changes to the wiring will likely require a permit. The cost of this permit can vary depending on your location, but you can generally expect to pay around $100 at most. When considering the cost of the work, the type of fixture being installed is a key factor. We can either order the items for you or you can choose and purchase them yourself from a local home improvement store—it’s entirely your choice. Labor costs for electricians can also vary significantly, and the size and complexity of the fixture can influence these costs. If the job requires additional manpower, particularly for installing larger fixtures, the labor expenses will increase accordingly. Typically, you can expect labor costs to range from $70 to $100 per hour per electrician.
